3) Book-Page Decor

Decor made from book pages pops upthroughout Anthro both for saleand as store decor..Grab a old dictionary from a thrift storeand a jumbo bottle of Mod Podgeand you can make it happen in your home too!

Emily from On The V Siderecreated the look with pears..She took a thrift store bought old book and cut strips of varying lengths and widths,to accommodate the curves of the pears.Then just used Modge Podge to 'paint' the paper onto the pears. Let 'em dry.lifeonthevside.blogspot.com

Materials:Thrift store picture frames with glass. The glass is key! If you can
find some that are chipped or cracked even better, that will add to the
vintage feel. You will also need a spray bottle with one part vinegar to
3 parts water. And lastly you will need KRYLON
LOOKING GLASS SPRAY PAINT.

Directions: Take the glass out of the frame and clean.
Start with a
light spritz of the water vinegar solution on the glass.
Then take the
spray paint and lightly cover the glass with short bursts
about 6" away.
Let dry and repeat the spritz with the vinegar solution and then the
spray paint.
Do this about three to four times. It doesn't have to be
perfect as
you are trying to go for an antique chippy feeling.
Make sure
the glass is completely dry before slipping it back into the frame.
Make sure the painted side is on the inside and the smooth side is out.
